O.OO: No Magic In Riso (reprint)
Isbn 9789869758802
Publisher O.OO Risograph & Design
Idea code 19361
€ 44.00
It took 850 days, 74 tubes of soy ink, 15 colors, 660 masters, 690,000 sheets of paper, 3 fans, 2 riso printers, and 4 people to complete a book – a 360 page book that only talks about 1 thing. The thing that is always the most fascinating is “Process”. The processes and experiences that did not have the chance to appear in the pages of this book can only be quantified, converted, and recorded into words. The process creates micro-imperfections in printing, similar to spontaneity, or even comparable to how improvisation in jazz can lead to an unexpected but pleasant result. The result of two years of research by O.OO, a graphic design studio based in Taipei, the main focus of this publication is colour separation and experimentation with images. The studio does not claim the colour separation methods described here to be absolute or the “right” way, but offer resources in hopes that they can provide helpful advice in practice while on the path to professionalism in this field.

Wheels of Light - Designs for British Light Shows 1970-1990
Isbn 9781909829206
Publisher Four Corners Books
Idea code 22605
€ 20.40
Emerging from avant-garde art performances of the 1960s, light shows became the hip accompaniment to gigs and clubs in the 1970s. Swirling coloured oils and kaleidoscopic patterns were projected across bands and venues, while 360 degree painted 'panorama wheels' would slowly rotate in projectors, showing only a section of the image at any one time. Wheels of Light brings together the images made by the key projection companies that sprung up in the UK, including Optikinetics, Pluto and Orion, and tells their story. From beautiful abstracts to visions of outer space, the designs for these rotating projections are a snapshot of the creativity and inventiveness of an era.

Harvard Design Magazine 50: Today's Global

Publisher Harvard University
Idea code 22562
€ 26.50
In a world impacted by extreme and rapid global expansion, the 50th issue of ‘Harvard Design’ asks what it means to be global today. While globalisation brought glamour and economic growth for some, it came at the cost of immobility, inequity, and displacement for others. Reflecting on how world histories and challenges have inspired new forms of cooperation, the 25 contributions provide a contemporary understanding of how design is advancing the definition of globalisation beyond the mere movement of capital. Guest edited by Sarah M. Whiting and Rahul Mehrotra, with contributions by Lesley Lokko, Shiqia Li, Sandi Hilal, and many more.

Lisa Konno - Nobu Baba Henk

Publisher Lisa Konno
Idea code 22672
€ 32.30
The book NOBU BABA HENK combines the process and stories of the film trilogy by writer and director Sarah Blok and fashion designer Lisa Konno. In their films on migrant fathers they found common ground in their love for stories, told in a lighthearted tone, yet doing justice to their complex and socially involved subjects. NOBU, BABA and HENK let them into their homes and hearts and taught them about human resilience, showed them the beauty and challenges of navigating two worlds and raised the question what culture actually is. In this concluding book each film gets introduced with reference images, design sketches and text fragments of film scripts, before showing the finished films through subtitled filmstills. All carefully selected and designed by Marius Schwarz.

Process - Design Drawings from the Rijksmuseum 1500-1900
Isbn 9789462087354
Publisher Nai010 Publishers
Idea code 22685
€ 59.95
'Process' shows an extensive collection of design drawings, never presented before, of artefacts from the period 1500-1900 from the Rijksmuseum collection. The design drawings in this publication are presented from a design perspective. The focus is not so much on the provenance and attribution of the drawings (as was customary in the case of this type of drawing until now) but on the function of the drawing within the process of design and maker's practice throughout the centuries. This innovative categorisation was created after years of research by Professor Reinier Baarsen, senior curator at the Rijksmuseum, and provides a unique insight into the context in which the drawings were created.

Satoshi Itasaka – In Things: The Work Collected 2010_2022 h220430
Isbn 9789462264588
Publisher Lecturis
Idea code 22645
€ 35.00
Excellent design spreads over the world and has the power to reach a wide range of people. In some cases, it has more influence than text and art, promoting meaningful communication by bridging borders and language. From this belief, Japanese designer Satoshi Itasaka launched the Tokyo-based design label h220430 in 2010. He has since produced a wide variety of products and objects, from lighting and furniture to solutions for Covid-19 restrictions in public space. He treats design as a crucial method for solving many of today’s societal problems, from environmental issues to disparities in wealth. More than a decade of his label’s work is presented in this book.

A former cinema dating from the art deco period located in a residential and commercial building in Basel is transformed into a living space, the interior of which is decorated with a collection of historical furnishings and art objects. The fusion of contemporary and historical creates a fascinating synthesis of the arts. While this unique space was being created, a repurposed old forge in nearby Ziefen was used as a countryside retreat. ‘Living Wunderkammer’ presents a detailed look at these two residences. Considered modern cabinets of curiosities, both are marked by the personality of their passionate owner-collector, whose surroundings are a continuous journey through time.

Published in conjunction with the "metalworks – designing & making" exhibition in the Konschthal Esch, this book uses the production of some twenty international creators to discuss methods of transforming metal in contemporary design. Around forty objects have been classified into sixteen categories, illustrating how these creators have adopted and crafted metal. Some experiment with the material and its properties, others question the physical limits of existing techniques. Accompanied by a historical text recounting the uses of metal in furniture since the eighteenth century, and the history of the metallurgical industry in Luxembourg, this publication brings together some sixty biographies, explanatory texts, and a technical lexicon on methods of transformation and the selected objects.

"Fungal is a homage to Wikipedia, one of the greatest website of the World Wide Web. This collaborative encyclopedia is now 21 years old, and I am still fascinated how it changed our relationship to knowledge. It also represents a comforting example of what humanity can do: collaborating voluntarily on the largest knowledge project in our history. (...) My work quickly focused on how to create organic ornaments, affecting the encyclopedia’s interface, its typography, the figures and the Wikipedia logo itself. I asked my friend Jérémy Landes to collaborate on the design of a libre font forked from DejaVu Sans, able to spread like mycelium thanks to the variable technology." — Raphaël Bastide
